Came across this on facebook. One of Sennas first contracts back in the early 80's.

Dates come across as a bit eerie.

pfff, filled in a complete page and then the server gave an error page. Not filling in that page again, crappy server.

I've had the same issue, but when I revisited the questionnaire I discovered that my progress was saved and I didn't have to start from the beginning :)

the survey is stupid with questions that are badly formulated, with multiple choices that force me to answer something that I don't want to. And no room for a personal note.

The survey from Autosport magazine last week was much better.

Michelin have confirmed they will put forward a tender for the 2017 tyre supply IF they are allowed to produce tyres that drivers can push to the limit at all times:
http://www.crash.net/f1/news/219074/1/m ... eturn.html

Sadly for them while the teams & drivers would probably welcome them as we saw from comments over the past week Bernie will block it so they probably don't stand a chance of winning the tender.

Speaking of tyres, Brundle was testing 18" tyres on a GP2 car round Monaco today:

18" tyres look shit, the GP2 car looks like a monster truck, this aint for f1
plus the costs would go up to develop new ssupension, brakes, arms...
And im sure they want to reduce it

I guess the doping is on the cars, not on the drivers, unless they \......................... before the race

It's pointless if we go the big manufacturer way again. If the economy goes, they go. People with passion stay.

:slaphead:

Yes I agree. Technology advancement (and R&D for that matter) has no place in F1. Clearly.

The problem I have with it is that he seems to be suggesting that the 2nd half of the grid become a spec 2nd tier with everyone running the same chassis/engine.

If it were teams allowed to buy a year old car from whoever has them available with whatever engine they wanted to run I'd have less of a problem but in general still not be fond of the idea.

For me there is also the question of fairness to constructor teams. The current grid (And Haas) have all spent money on facilities & staff to design & build there own car. If a new team could just turn up, Buy a car & potentially out-perform them then its going to put some of the constructor teams into further financial problems if there falling further down the grid.


I also don't like how there pushing things like this which don't solve anything because the financial distribution is still going to be broken. If they actually stopped trying to stick band aids onto whats wrong with F1 & actually did something to fix it then we would have a healthy grid of teams that could compete using there own cars without half of them constantly feeling the financial strains.

The solution is so obvious that everyone can see it apart from those swimming in there vaults of gold like Scrooge McDuck.
